General Removal Procedures • Install a battery memory saver. • Remove hood and place in safe place. • Drain fluids and remove oil filter. • Disconnect linkages and electrical connections • Label as necessary. • Remove air intake components.
General Removal Procedures • Disconnect and close off fuel lines. • Label and disconnect vacuum lines. • Remove drive belts and set power steering pump and air conditioning compressor aside. • Disconnect heater and radiator hoses. • Disconnect exhaust pipe.
FWD Engine Removal • Many FWD vehicles require the engine and transmission to be removed together as an assembly. • Some FWD engines can be removed from above. • A transaxle support is necessary if the engine is removed from above.
FWD Engine Removal (cont’d) • Remove the axle shafts from the transaxle. • Axles can usually be pried away from transaxle once the steering knuckle is separated from the lower control arm. • If possible, leave axles attached to hub assemblies.
RWD Engine Removal • The engine is usually removed from above through the hood opening. • After all connections and components are removed, separate the engine from the transmission. • Remove motor mount connections and remove the engine. • Always support the transmission.
Engine Preparation • Once removed, mount securely to an engine stand. • Slowly disassemble and visually inspect the parts. • Look for excessive wear on moving parts. • Always follow the service procedures for proper disassembly and cleaning.
Cleaning - Further • After disassembly parts should be thoroughly inspected and cleaned. • The cleaning method depends on the component and the equipment available. • Incorrect cleaning methods or agents can harm or destroy engine parts.
Types of Soil Contaminants • Water-Soluble Soils • Include dirt, dust, and mud • Organic Soils • Examples are oil, grease, and carbon • Rust • Results from a chemical reaction when iron and steel are exposed to oxygen and moisture • Scale • Results from minerals that have separated from water
Three Basic Cleaning Processes • Chemical Cleaning • Uses a chemical reaction • Thermal Cleaning • Relies on heat to bake off soil • Abrasive Cleaners • Are usually used in conjunction with other cleaning processes
Chemical Cleaning • Used to remove dirt, grease, scale, paint, and/or rust. • Always wear the proper PPE when working with chemical cleaning agents. • Hydrocarbon solvents require special handling and disposal. • Some cleaners are water-based.
Steam or Pressure Washing • Good for removing soils and grease • Be careful to avoid penetrating seals, boots and other protective shields.
Abrasive Cleaners • Used in conjunction with other cleaning equipment. • Shot and grit blasters used on parts that will later be machined. • Parts tumblers used on small parts. • Vibration cleaners or shakers use vibrating tub with abrasives to scrub parts. • Wire brush or abrasive cloth/paper
Alternative Cleaning Methods • Ultrasonic cleaners uses high-frequency sound waves to clean parts. • Citrus chemicals are safer to handle and easier to dispose of. • Salt baths use high-temperature molten salt to dissolve carbon, grease, oil, dirt, paint, and some gasket materials.
